I'm assuming you want to do the monitoring from another system. Setup ntpd on that system. Turn on some of the statistics collection. details are in monopt.html loopstats will tell you what ntpd thinks of it's local clock. peerstats will tell you what the other systems look like. I use filegen xxx file xxx type day link to break things up into a file per day. Then add server xxx for each system you want to monitor. you can adjust minpoll and maxpoll to control how often they get polled you can turn on noselect if you think the monitoring system might get confused. That will collect a bunch of data. Then you can graph it or whatever you want. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
